If you placed an order for either Alpha Flag issue 3, or the third SF minicomic, you should have already gotten an email confirming shipment as of today! From now on, if you order anything from the store, all the products should ship out post-haste. And as such, the preorder discount code has expired.

Also, a special thanks to anyone who made it out to the convention last weekend! It was great seeing y’all!

Last year, before seeing it again after a few years away from it, I described it as a small show. It’s no longer a small show! It’s still pretty neat. Great if you love indie comics.

Alpha Flag issue 3 just arrived in the mail today, so we’ll have issues 1-3 of Alpha Flag, Charlie pins, reprints of issues 1 and 2 of my science fiction minicomic, SF, as well as the third, Adults-only (lots of nudity, swearing, and just a touch of sex) issue Untitled SF3: wstyd. SF3 ended up being 23 pages of comics, so it’s only a minicomic in dimensions!

I’ve got a few friends that’ll be there for you to check out–namely Mat Heagerty and JD Faith of Just Another Sheep fame.

Renee wanted me to let you all know that she’s going to be posting her pages of The Only Thing I’m Really Afraid of is the Thought of Dying Here Alone and Forgotten on Fridays sometime during the day, since it lines up nicely with her current work schedule. So expect Alpha Flag updates then instead of Thursdays until her short finishes!

If you’re in the San Diego area, you can now buy Alpha Flag issues 1 and 2 in a few, select (and really fantastic-looking and friendly) stores:

Villainous Lair Comics
3371 Adams Avenue
San Diego, CA 92116
A great store with a second location down the street specializing in games. Also, a really cute store rat!

Rising Sun Creations
1620 Camino De La Reina
San Diego, CA 92108
A rare type of comic store that has a focus split equally between American and Japanese comics. Super friendly! (Coincidentally, also a great place to go for tax advice!)

Southern California Comics
8280 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. #124
San Diego, CA 92111
A bigger, warehouse-style store that’d be your best bet to find a bunch of decades-old back issues for cheap. It’s a bit hard to find. Kind of tucked away at the end of a business park.
